Carlos Acosta's Carmen @ Aylesbury Waterside Theatre

Carlos Acosta triumphantly returns to the stage to dance with his company of dancers in this passionate, classic tale of Carmen, reimagined with his irresistible Cuban flair. 

Don José falls in love with Carmen and sacrifices everything to be with her. When Carmen becomes infatuated with the toreador Escamillo she loses interest in Don José, whose love quickly turns to violent jealousy.

Carlos Acosta now presents and features in his own adaptation of Georges Bizet and Prosper Mérimée’s story. In his new version, the story’s universal and timeless themes are laid bare in a sparse and powerful setting.
